Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization | Organization AG Mortgage Investment Trust, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Maryland on March 1, 2011. The Company is a hybrid mortgage REIT that opportunistically invests in a diversified risk adjusted portfolio of agency investments and credit investments. Agency investments include Agency RMBS and Agency Excess MSRs, and credit investments include Non-Agency RMBS, ABS, CMBS, loans, and Credit Excess MSRs, as defined below. Residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") include mortgage pass-through certificates or collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") representing interests in or obligations backed by pools of residential mortgage loans issued or guaranteed by a U.S. government-sponsored entity such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (collectively, "GSEs"), or any agency of the U.S. Government such as Ginnie Mae (collectively, "Agency RMBS"). The principal and interest payments on Agency RMBS securities have an explicit guarantee by either an agency of the U.S. government or a U.S. government-sponsored entity. Non-Agency RMBS represent fixed- and floating-rate RMBS issued by entities or organizations other than a GSE or agency of the U.S. government, or that are collateralized by non-U.S. mortgages, including investment grade (AAA through BBB) and non-investment grade classes (BB and below). The mortgage loan collateral for Non-Agency RMBS consists of residential mortgage loans that do not generally conform to underwriting guidelines issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored entities or are non-U.S. mortgages. Non-Agency RMBS also includes securities issued by companies whose primary assets are land and real estate. Asset Backed Securities ("ABS") are securitized investments for which the underlying assets are diverse, not only representing real estate related assets. Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities ("CMBS") represent investments of fixed- and floating-rate CMBS, including investment grade (AAA through BBB) and non-investment grade classes (BB and below), secured by, or evidencing an ownership interest in, a single commercial mortgage loan or a pool of commercial mortgage loans. The Company’s Non-Agency RMBS, ABS and CMBS portfolios are primarily not issued or guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or any agency of the U.S. Government, or are collateralized by non-U.S. mortgages and are therefore subject to credit risk. Collectively, the Company refers to Agency RMBS, Non-Agency RMBS, ABS and CMBS asset types as "real estate securities" or "securities." Residential mortgage loans refer to performing, re-performing and non-performing loans secured by a first lien mortgage on residential mortgaged property located in any of the 50 states of the United States or in the District of Columbia. Commercial loans are secured by an interest in commercial real estate and represent a contractual right to receive money on demand or on fixed or determinable dates. The Company refers to its residential and commercial mortgage loans as "mortgage loans" or "loans." Excess MSRs refer to the excess servicing spread related to mortgage servicing rights, whose underlying collateral is securitized in a trust either held by a U.S. government agency or GSE ("Agency Excess MSR") or not held by a U.S. government agency or GSE ("Credit Excess MSR"). On November 15, 2019, the Company sold its portfolio of single-family rental properties ("SFR portfolio") to a third party. The sale of the Company's SFR portfolio has met the criteria for discontinued operations. Accordingly, for all current and prior periods presented, the related assets and liabilities are presented as assets and liabilities held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets and the related operating resulted are presented as income/(loss) from discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations. See Note 14 for further details. The Company is externally managed by AG REIT Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Manager"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P. ("Angelo Gordon"), a privately-held, SEC-registered investment adviser, pursuant to a management agreement. The Manager, pursuant to a delegation agreement dated as of June 29, 2011, has delegated to Angelo Gordon the overall responsibility of its day-to-day duties and obligations arising under the management agreement. The Company conducts its operations to qualify and be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of significant accounting policies | Summary of significant accounting policies The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation for the annual period of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's consolidated financial statements to conform to the year ended December 31, 2019 presentation, primarily in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and all related notes in which prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the classification of the operations of the Company's SFR portfolio to discontinued operations. Cash and cash equivalents Cash is comprised of cash on deposit with financial institutions. The Company classifies highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents includes cash invested in money market funds. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Company held $53.2 million and $0.6 million , respectively, of cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure. Cash pledged to the Company as collateral is unrestricted in use and, accordingly, is included as a component of "Cash and cash equivalents" on the consolidated balance sheets. Any cash held by the Company as collateral is included in the "Other liabilities" line item on the consolidated balance sheets and in cash flows from financing activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. Due to broker, which is included in the "Other liabilities" line item on the consolidated balance sheets, does not include variation margin received on centrally cleared derivatives. See Note 8 for more detail. Any cash due to the Company in the form of principal payments is included in the "Other assets" line item on the consolidated balance sheets and in cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. Restricted cash Restricted cash includes cash pledged as collateral for clearing and executing trades, derivatives, and financing arrangements. Prior to the disposition of the Company's SFR portfolio, restricted cash also included cash deposited into accounts related to rent deposits and collections, security deposits, property taxes, insurance premiums, interest expenses, property management fees and capital expenditures. Restricted cash is not available to the Company for general corporate purposes. Restricted cash may be returned to the Company when the related collateral requirements are exceeded or at the maturity of the derivative or financing arrangement. Restricted cash is carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted cash does not include variation margin pledged on centrally cleared derivatives. See Note 8 for more detail. Offering costs The Company has incurred offering costs in connection with common stock offerings, registration statements and preferred stock offerings. Where applicable, the offering costs were paid out of the proceeds of the respective offerings. Offering costs in connection with common stock offerings and costs in connection with registration statements have been accounted for as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Offering costs in connection with preferred stock offerings have been accounted for as a reduction of their respective gross proceeds. Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Earnings/(Loss) per share In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 260, "Earnings per Share," the Company calculates basic income/(loss) per share by dividing net income/(loss) available to common stockholders for the period by weighted-average shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding for that period. Diluted income per share takes into account the effect of dilutive instruments, such as stock options, warrants, unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted stock units but uses the average share price for the period in determining the number of incremental shares that are to be added to the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. In periods in which the Company records a loss, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation, as their effect on loss per share is anti-dilutive. Valuation of financial instruments The fair value of the financial instruments that the Company records at fair value will be determined by the Manager, subject to oversight of the Company’s Board of Directors, and in accordance with ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures." When possible, the Company determines fair value using independent data sources. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below: • Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. • Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. Transfers between levels are assumed to occur at the beginning of the reporting period. Accounting for real estate securities Investments in real estate securities are recorded in accordance with ASC 320-10, "Investments – Debt and Equity Securities," ASC 325-40, "Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets," or ASC 310-30, "Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality." The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825, "Financial Instruments" for its real estate securities portfolio. Real estate securities are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and the periodic change in fair value is recorded in current period earnings on the consolidated statement of operations as a component of "Unrealized gain/(loss) on real estate securities and loans, net." Real estate securities acquired through securitizations are shown in the line item "Purchase of real estate securities" on the consolidated statement of cash flows. Purchases and sales of real estate securities are recorded on the trade date. These investments meet the requirements to be classified as available for sale under ASC 320-10-25 which requires the securities to be carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. Electing the fair value option allows the Company to record changes in fair value in the consolidated statement of operations, which, in management’s view, more appropriately reflects the results of operations for a particular reporting period as all securities activities will be recorded in a similar manner. The Company recognizes certain upfront costs and fees relating to securities for which the fair value option has been elected in current period earnings as incurred and does not defer those costs, which is in accordance with ASC 825-10-25. When the Company purchases securities with evidence of credit deterioration since origination, it will analyze the securities to determine if the guidance found in ASC 310-30 is applicable. The Company accounts for its securities under ASC 310 and ASC 325 and evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") on at least a quarterly basis. The determination of whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired involves judgments and assumptions based on subjective and objective factors. When the fair value of a real estate security is less than its amortized cost at the balance sheet date, the security is considered impaired, and the impairment is designated as either "temporary" or "other-than-temporary." When a real estate security is impaired, an OTTI is considered to have occurred if (i) the Company intends to sell the security (i.e., a decision has been made as of the reporting date) or (ii) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If the Company intends to sell the security or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the real estate security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the entire amount of the impairment loss, if any, is recognized in earnings as a realized loss and the cost basis of the security is adjusted to its fair value. Additionally for securities accounted for under ASC 325-40 an OTTI is deemed to have occurred when there is an adverse change in the expected cash flows to be received and the fair value of the security is less than its carrying amount. In determining whether an adverse change in cash flows occurred, the present value of the remaining cash flows, as estimated at the initial transaction date (or the last date previously revised), is compared to the present value of the expected cash flows at the current reporting date. The estimated cash flows reflect those a "market participant" would use and include observations of current information and events, and assumptions related to fluctuations in interest rates, prepayment speeds and the timing and amount of potential credit losses. Cash flows are discounted at a rate equal to the current yield used to accrete interest income. Any resulting OTTI adjustments are reflected in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. The determination as to whether an OTTI exists is subjective, given that such determination is based on information available at the time of assessment as well as the Company’s estimate of the future performance and cash flow projections for the individual security. As a result, the timing and amount of an OTTI constitutes an accounting estimate that may change materially over time. Increases in interest income may be recognized on a security on which the Company previously recorded an OTTI charge if the performance of such security subsequently improves. Any remaining unrealized losses on securities at December 31, 2019 do not represent other than temporary impairment as the Company has the ability and intent to hold the securities to maturity or for a period of time sufficient for a forecasted market price recovery up to or above the amortized cost of the investment, and the Company is not required to sell the security for regulatory or other reasons. In addition, any unrealized losses on the Company’s Agency RMBS accounted for under ASC 320 are not due to credit losses given their explicit guarantee of principal and interest by the GSEs, but rather are due to changes in interest rates and prepayment expectations. See Note 3 for a summary of OTTI charges recorded. Sales of securities are driven by the Manager’s portfolio management process. The Manager seeks to mitigate risks including those associated with prepayments, defaults, severities, amongst others and will opportunistically rotate the portfolio into securities with more favorable attributes. Strategies may also be employed to manage net capital gains, which need to be distributed for tax purposes. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities, loans and derivatives are included in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. The cost of positions sold is calculated using a first in, first out ("FIFO") basis. Realized gains and losses are recorded in earnings at the time of disposition. Accounting for residential and commercial mortgage loans Investments in mortgage loans are recorded in accordance with ASC 310-10, "Receivables." At purchase, the Company may aggregate its mortgage loans into pools based on common risk characteristics. Once a pool of loans is assembled, its composition is maintained. The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 for its mortgage loan portfolio. Loans are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and any periodic change in fair value will be recorded in current period earnings on the consolidated statement of operations as a component of "Unrealized gain/(loss) on real estate securities and loans, net." The Company recognizes certain upfront costs and fees relating to loans for which the fair value option has been elected in current period earnings as incurred and does not defer those costs, which is in accordance with ASC 825-10-25. Purchases and sales of mortgage loans are recorded on the settlement date, concurrent with the completion of due diligence and the removal of any contingencies. Prior to the settlement date, the Company will include commitments to purchase loans within the Commitments and Contingencies footnote to the financial statements. The Company amortizes or accretes any premium or discount over the life of the loans utilizing the effective interest method. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the collectability of both interest and principal on its loans to determine whether they are impaired. A loan or pool of loans is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. Income recognition is suspended for loans at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90-days past due or when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired loan or pool of loans is in doubt, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired loan is not in doubt, contractual interest is recorded as interest income when received, under the cash basis method until an accrual is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. A loan is written off when it is no longer realizable and/or legally discharged. When the Company purchases mortgage loans with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it determines that it is probable it will not collect all contractual cash flows on those loans, it will apply the guidance found in ASC 310-30. Mortgage loans that are delinquent 60 or more days are considered non-performing. The Company updates its estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected on at least a quarterly basis for loans accounted for under ASC 310-30. In estimating these cash flows, there are a number of assumptions that will be subject to uncertainties and contingencies including both the rate and timing of principal and interest receipts, and assumptions of prepayments, repurchases, defaults and liquidations. If based on the most current information and events it is probable that there is a significant increase in cash flows previously expected to be collected or if actual cash flows are significantly greater than cash flows previously expected, the Company will recognize these changes prospectively through an adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. The Company will adjust the amount of yield by reclassification from the nonaccretable difference. The adjustment is accounted for as a change in estimate in conformity with ASC 250, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" with the amount of periodic accretion adjusted over the remaining life of the loan. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected from previously projected cash flows, which includes all cash flows originally expected to be collected by the investor plus any additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimate after acquisition, may be recognized as impairment. Increases in interest income may be recognized on a loan on which the Company previously recorded an OTTI charge if the performance of such loan subsequently improves. Investments in debt and equity of affiliates The Company’s unconsolidated ownership interests in affiliates are accounted for using the equity method. A majority of the Company’s investments held through affiliated entities are comprised of real estate securities, Excess MSRs, loans, and certain derivatives. These types of investments may also be held directly by the Company. These entities have chosen to make a fair value election on their financial instruments pursuant to ASC 825; as such, the Company will treat these investments consistently with this election. On December 9, 2015, the Company, alongside private funds under the management of Angelo Gordon, through AG Arc LLC, one of the Company’s indirect subsidiaries ("AG Arc"), formed Arc Home LLC ("Arc Home"). The Company has chosen to make a fair value election with respect to its investment in AG Arc pursuant to ASC 825. On August 29, 2017, the Company, alongside private funds under the management of Angelo Gordon, formed Mortgage Acquisition Holding I LLC ("MATH") to conduct a residential mortgage investment strategy. MATH in turn sponsored the formation of an entity called Mortgage Acquisition Trust I LLC ("MATT") to purchase predominantly "Non-QM" loans, which are residential mortgage loans that are not deemed "qualified mortgage," or "QM," loans under the rules of the CFPB. Non-QM loans are not eligible for delivery to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae. MATT has made an election to be treated as a real estate investment trust beginning with the 2018 tax year. On May 15, 2019 and November 14, 2019, the Company, alongside private funds under the management of Angelo Gordon, formed LOT SP I LLC and LOT SP II LLC, respectively, (collectively, "LOTS"). LOTS were formed to originate first mortgage loans to third party land developers and home builders for purposes of the acquisition and horizontal development of land ("Land Related Financing"). During Q3 2018, the Company transferred certain of its CMBS from certain of its non-wholly owned subsidiaries to a consolidated entity. The Company executed this transfer in order to obtain financing on these real estate securities. As a result, there was a reclassification of these assets from the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" line item to the "CMBS" line item on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company has also shown this reclassification as a non-cash transfer from the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" line item to the "CMBS" line item on its consolidated statements of cash flows. The below table reconciles the fair value of investments to the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" line item on the Company's consolidated balance sheet (in thousands). December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Assets Liabilities Equity Assets Liabilities Equity Real Estate Securities, Excess MSRs and Loans, at fair value (1)(2) $ 373,126 $ (257,068 ) $ 116,058 $ 213,419 $ (138,893 ) $ 74,526 AG Arc, at fair value 28,546 — 28,546 20,360 — 20,360 Cash and Other assets/(liabilities) 12,953 (1,246 ) 11,707 7,423 (17,417 ) (9,994 ) Investments in debt and equity of affiliates $ 414,625 $ (258,314 ) $ 156,311 $ 241,202 $ (156,310 ) $ 84,892 (1) Certain loans held in securitized form are presented net of non-recourse securitized debt. (2) Within Real Estate Securities, Excess MSRs and Loans is $254.3 million and $113.3 million of fair value of Non-QM loans held in MATT at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. Additionally, there is $17.0 million of fair value of Land Related Financing held in LOTS at December 31, 2019 . There was no Land Related Financing at December 31, 2018 . The Company’s investments in debt and equity of affiliates are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets in the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" line item and periodic changes in fair value are recorded in current period earnings on the consolidated statement of operations as a component of "Equity in earnings/(loss) from affiliates." Capital contributions, distributions and profits and losses of such entities are allocated in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreements. Accounting for excess mortgage servicing rights The Company has acquired the right to receive the excess servicing spread related to Excess MSRs. The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 for Excess MSRs. Excess MSRs are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and any periodic change in fair value is recorded in current period earnings on the consolidated statement of operations as a component of "Unrealized gain/(loss) on derivative and other instruments, net." The Company amortizes or accretes any premium or discount over the life of the related Excess MSRs utilizing the effective interest method. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the collectability of interest of its Excess MSRs to determine whether they are impaired. An Excess MSR is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. The Company updates its estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected on at least a quarterly basis for Excess MSRs. In estimating these cash flows, there are a number of assumptions that will be subject to uncertainties and contingencies including both the rate and timing of interest receipts, and assumptions of prepayments, repurchases, defaults and liquidations. If there is a significant increase in expected cash flows over what was previously expected to be collected or if actual cash flows are significantly greater than cash flows previously expected, the Company will recognize these changes prospectively through an adjustment of the Excess MSR’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected from previously projected cash flows, which includes all cash flows originally expected to be collected by the investor plus any additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimate after acquisition, may be recognized as impairment. Increases in interest income may be recognized on an Excess MSR on which the Company previously recorded an OTTI charge if the performance of such Excess MSR subsequently improves. Accounting for single-family rental properties The previously mentioned sale of the Company's SFR portfolio has met the criteria for discontinued operations. Accordingly, for all current and prior periods presented, the related assets and liabilities are presented as assets and liabilities held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets and the related operating results are presented as income/(loss) from discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations. Purchases of single-family rental properties were treated as asset acquisitions under ASU 2017-01, "Clarifying the Definition of a Business" and were recorded at their purchase price, which were allocated between land, building and improvements, and in-place lease intangibles (when a tenant is in place at the acquisition date) based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. Fair value was determined in accordance with ASC 820 and was primarily based on unobservable data inputs. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price, the Company utilized its own market knowledge and published market data and generally engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist management in the determination of fair value for purposes of allocating price of properties acquired as part of portfolio level transactions. For purposes of this allocation, the purchase price was inclusive of acquisition costs, which included legal costs, as well as other closing costs. The Company incurred costs to acquire, stabilize and prepare its single-family rental properties to be rented. These costs included renovation and other costs associated with these activities. The Company capitalized these costs as a component of the Company's investment in each single-family rental property, using specific identification and relative allocation methodologies. The capitalization period associated with the Company's stabilization activities began at such time that activities commenced and concluded at the time that a single-family rental property was available to be leased. Once a property was ready for its intended use, expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs were expensed to operations as incurred. The Company capitalized expenditures that improved or extended the life of a home and for certain furniture and fixtures additions. The Company recorded single-family rental properties at purchase price plus any capitalized expenses less accumulated depreciation and amortization and any impairment to the "Single-family rental properties, net" line item on its consolidated balance sheets. Costs capitalized in connection with property acquisitions and improvements were depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis. Buildings were depreciated over 30 years and improvements were depreciated over a range of 5 years to 30 years. In-place lease intangibles were recorded based on the costs to execute similar leases as well as an estimate of lost rent revenue at in-place rental rates during the estimated time required to lease the property. The in-place lease intangibles were amortized over the remaining life of the leases in place at purchase and were recorded in "Single-family rental properties, net" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company assessed impairment on its single-family rental properties at least on a quarterly basis, or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicated that carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. When such trigger events occurred, the Company determined whether there had been impairment by comparing the asset’s carrying value with its estimated fair value. If impairment existed, the asset was written down to its estimated fair value. This analysis was performed at the property level using estimated cash flows, which were estimated based on a number of assumptions that were subject to economic and market uncertainties, including, among others, demand for rental properties, competition for customers, changes in market rental rates, costs to operate each property, expected ownership periods and value of the property. If the carrying amount of a property exceeded the sum of its undiscounted future operating and disposition cash flows, an impairment loss was recorded for excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair value. Minimum contractual rents from leases were recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases in rental income. Therefore, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may have been higher or lower than the amount of rental income recognized during the period. Straight-line rental income commenced when the customer took control of the leased premises. The Company maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may have resulted from the inability of residents to make required rent or other payments. The allowance was estimated based on, among other considerations, the aging of accounts receivable, payment histories, and overall delinquencies. The provision for doubtful accounts was recorded as a reduction of rental income on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and a reduction of rent receivable, which was included within "Other assets" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Investment consolidation and transfers of financial assets For each investment made, the Company evaluates the underlying entity that issued the securities acquired or to which the Company makes a loan to determine the appropriate accounting. A similar analysis will be performed for each entity with which the Company enters into an agreement for management, servicing or related services. In performing the analysis, the Company refers to guidance in ASC 810-10, "Consolidation." In situations where the Company is the transferor of financial assets, the Company refers to the guidance in ASC 860-10 "Transfers and Servicing." In variable interest entities ("VIEs"), an entity is subject to consolidation under ASC 810-10 if the equity investors either do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, are unable to direct the entity’s activities or are not exposed to the entity’s losses or entitled to its residual returns. VIEs within the scope of ASC 810-10 are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is determined to be the party that has both the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This determination can sometimes involve complex and subjective analyses. Further, ASC 810-10 also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. In accordance with ASC 810-10, all transferees, including variable interest entities, must be evaluated for consolidation. If the Company determines that consolidation is not required, it will then assess whether the transfer of the underlying assets would qualify as a sale, should be accounted for as secured financings under GAAP, or should be accounted for as an equity method investment, depending on the circumstances. See Note 3 and Note 4 for more detail. The Company entered into a resecuritization transaction in 2014 which resulted in the Company consolidating the VIE that was created to facilitate the transaction and to which the underlying assets in connection with the resecuritization were transferred. In determining the accounting treatment to be applied to this resecuritization transaction, the Company evaluated whether the entity used to facilitate this transaction was a VIE and, if so, whether it should be consolidated. Based on its evaluation, the Company concluded that the VIE should be consolidated and, as a result, transferred assets of the VIE were determined to be secured borrowings. The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 for its secured borrowings. See Note 3 below for more detail. The Company transferred certain of its CMBS in Q3 2018 from certain of its non-wholly owned subsidiaries into a newly formed wholly owned entity so the Company could obtain financing on these real estate securities. The Company evaluated whether this newly formed entity was a VIE and, whether it should be consolidated. Based on its evaluation, the Company concluded that the VIE should be consolidated. See Note 3 below as well as the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" section above for more detail. The Company entered into a securitization transaction of certain of its re-performing residential mortgage loans in Q3 2019, which resulted in the Company consolidating the VIE that was created to facilitate the transaction and to which the underlying assets in connection with the sec |

The following table presents the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s real estate securities by length of time that such securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands). Less than 12 months Greater than 12 months As of Fair Value Unrealized Losses Fair Value Unrealized Losses December 31, 2019 $ 243,529 $ (2,313 ) $ 22,719 $ (961 ) December 31, 2018 966,620 (14,937 ) 81,170 (3,777 ) As described in Note 2, the Company evaluates securities for OTTI on at least a quarterly basis. The determination of whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired involves judgments and assumptions based on subjective and objective factors. When the fair value of a real estate security is less than its amortized cost at the balance sheet date, the security is considered impaired, and the impairment is designated as either "temporary" or "other-than-temporary." For the year ended December 31, 2019 , the Company recognized an OTTI charge of $14.6 million on its securities, which is included in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. None of this amount was recognized on securities in which the Company demonstrated an intent to sell. The Company recorded $14.6 million of OTTI due to an adverse change in cash flows on certain securities, where the fair values of the securities were less than their carrying amounts. Of the $14.6 million of OTTI recorded, $3.4 million related to securities where OTTI was not recognized in a prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2018 , the Company recognized an OTTI charge of $7.3 million on its securities, which is included in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. Of this amount, $2.9 million was recognized on certain securities in an unrealized loss position in which the Company demonstrated an intent to sell, and the charge represents a write-down to fair value as of the reporting date. The Company recorded $4.4 million of OTTI due to an adverse change in cash flows on certain securities, where the fair values of the securities were less than their carrying amounts. Of the $7.3 million of OTTI recorded, $5.1 million related to securities where OTTI was not recognized in a prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2017 , the Company recognized an OTTI charge of $7.6 million on its securities, which is included in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. Of this amount, $2.3 million was recognized on certain securities in an unrealized loss position in which the Company demonstrated an intent to sell, and the charge represents a write-down to fair value as of the reporting date. The Company recorded $5.3 million of OTTI due to an adverse change in cash flows on certain securities, where the fair values of the securities were less than their carrying amounts. Of the $7.6 million of OTTI recorded, $2.6 million related to securities where OTTI was not recognized in a prior year. The unrealized losses on the remaining real estate securities are solely due to market conditions and not the credit quality of the assets. The investments in any remaining unrealized loss positions are not considered other than temporarily impaired because the Company currently has the ability and intent to hold the investments to maturity or for a period of time sufficient for a forecasted market price recovery up to or beyond the cost of the investments and the Company is not required to sell the investments for regulatory or other reasons.

For the year ended December 31, 2019 , the Company sold 90 securities for total proceeds of $1.2 billion , recording realized gains of $34.6 million and realized losses of $4.7 million . For the year ended December 31, 2018 , the Company sold 171 securities for total proceeds for $2.2 billion , recording realized gains of $6.4 million and realized losses of $61.4 million . For the year ended December 31, 2017 , the Company sold 71 securities for total proceeds of $566.0 million , recording realized gains of $3.6 million and realized losses of $3.4 million . See Notes 4 and 8 for amounts realized on sales of loans and the settlement of certain derivatives, respectively. A Special Purpose Entity ("SPE") is an entity designed to fulfill a specific limited need of the company that organized it. SPEs are often used to facilitate transactions that involve securitizing financial assets or resecuritizing previously securitized financial assets. The objective of such transactions may include obtaining non-recourse financing, obtaining liquidity or refinancing the underlying securitized financial assets on improved terms. Securitization involves transferring assets to an SPE to convert all or a portion of those assets into cash before they would have been realized in the normal course of business through the SPE’s issuance of debt or equity instruments. Investors in an SPE usually have recourse only to the assets in the SPE and depending on the overall structure of the transaction, may benefit from various forms of credit enhancement, such as over-collateralization in the form of excess assets in the SPE, priority with respect to receipt of cash flows relative to holders of other debt or equity instruments issued by the SPE, or a line of credit or other form of liquidity agreement that is designed with the objective of ensuring that investors receive principal and/or interest cash flow on the investment in accordance with the terms of their investment agreement. See Note 2 for more detail. The Company previously entered into a resecuritization transaction in 2014 (the "December 2014 VIE"). The Company concluded that the SPE created to facilitate this transaction was a VIE and also determined that the December 2014 VIE should be consolidated by the Company. The transferred assets were recorded as a secured borrowing, based on the Company’s involvement in the December 2014 VIE, including the design and purpose of the SPE, and whether the Company’s involvement reflected a controlling financial interest that resulted in the Company being deemed the primary beneficiary of the December 2014 VIE. The Company transferred certain of its CMBS in Q3 2018 from certain of its non-wholly owned subsidiaries into a newly formed entity so it could obtain financing on these real estate securities (the "August 2018 VIE"). The Company concluded that the entity created to facilitate this transfer was a VIE. The Company also determined that the August 2018 VIE should be consolidated by the Company based on the Company’s 100% equity ownership in the August 2018 VIE (despite a profit participation interest held by an unaffiliated third party in the August 2018 VIE), the Company's involvement in the August 2018 VIE, including the design and purpose of the entity, and whether the Company’s involvement reflected a controlling financial interest that resulted in the Company being deemed the primary beneficiary of the August 2018 VIE.

The $0.2 million related to a loan pool with an unpaid principal balance of $5.3 million , a fair value of $4.4 million and an average fair value of $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 . The Company recognized $0.5 million of interest income on the loan pools where OTTI was taken during the year ended December 31, 2018 . For the year ended December 31, 2017 , the Company recognized $0.4 million of OTTI on certain loan pools, which is included in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company recorded the $0.4 million of OTTI where the fair values of the loan pools were less than their carrying amounts. The $0.4 million related to a loan pool with an unpaid principal balance of $9.9 million , a fair value of $7.4 million and average fair value of $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 . The Company recognized $0.5 million of interest income on the loan pools where OTTI was taken during the year ended December 31, 2017 . As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 the Company had residential mortgage loans that were in the process of foreclosure with a fair value of $35.6 million and $17.3 million , respectively. The Company’s mortgage loan portfolio consisted of mortgage loans on residential real estate located throughout the U.S. The following is a summary of the geographic concentration of credit risk within the Company’s mortgage loan portfolio: Geographic Concentration of Credit Risk December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Percentage of fair value of mortgage loans secured by properties in the following states representing 5% or more of fair value: California 19 % 19 % Florida 11 % 9 % New York 9 % 5 % New Jersey 6 % 3 % Georgia 4 % 5 % The Company records interest income on an effective interest basis. The accretable discount is determined by the excess of the Company’s estimate of undiscounted principal, interest, and other cash flows expected to be collected over its initial investment in the mortgage loan. The following is a summary of the changes in the accretable portion of discounts for the years ended December 31, 2019 , December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Beginning Balance $ 79,610 $ 9,318 $ 18,282 Additions 108,275 82,757 — Accretion (16,169 ) (4,161 ) (2,503 ) Reclassifications from/(to) non-accretable difference 2,411 (3,988 ) 6,275 Disposals (5,250 ) (4,316 ) (12,736 ) Ending Balance $ 168,877 $ 79,610 $ 9,318 As of December 31, 2019 , the Company’s residential mortgage loan portfolio was comprised of 3,413 conventional loans with original loan balances between $3.8 thousand and $3.4 million . As of December 31, 2018 , the Company’s residential mortgage loan portfolio was comprised of 2,025 conventional loans with original loan balances between $10.0 thousand and $1.9 million . The Company entered into a securitization transaction of certain of its residential mortgage loans in August 2019 (the "August 2019 VIE"). The Company concluded that the SPE created to facilitate this transaction was a VIE and also determined that the August 2019 VIE should be consolidated by the Company. The transferred assets were recorded as a secured borrowing, based on the Company’s involvement in the August 2019 VIE, including the design and purpose of the SPE, and whether the Company’s involvement reflected a controlling financial interest that resulted in the Company being deemed the primary beneficiary of the August 2019 VIE. Upon consolidation, the Company elected the fair value option for the assets and liabilities of the August 2019 VIE in order to avoid an accounting mismatch, and to more accurately represent the economics of its interest in the entity. Electing the fair value option allows the Company to record changes in fair value in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company applied the guidance under ASU 2014-13, "Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity", whereby the Company determines whether the fair value of the assets or liabilities of the August 2019 VIE is more observable as a basis for measuring the less observable financial instruments. The Company has determined that the fair value of the liabilities of the August 2019 VIE are more observable since the prices for these liabilities are more easily determined as similar instruments trade more frequently on a relative basis than the individual assets of the VIE. The following table details certain information related to the assets and liabilities of the August 2019 VIE as of December 31, 2019 (in thousands): December 31, 2019 Assets Residential mortgage loans, at fair value $ 255,171 Other assets 898 Total assets $ 256,069 Liabilities Financing arrangements $ 24,584 Securitized debt, at fair value 217,118 Other liabilities 596 Total liabilities $ 242,298 The following table details certain information related to the August 2019 VIE as of December 31, 2019 ($ in thousands): Weighted Average Current Unpaid Principal Balance Fair Value Coupon Yield Life (Years) (1) Residential mortgage loans (2) $ 263,956 $ 255,171 3.96 % 5.11 % 7.66 Securitized debt (3) 217,455 217,118 2.92 % 2.86 % 5.00 (1) This is based on projected life.

(3) As of December 31, 2019 , the Company has recorded secured financing of $217.1 million on the consolidated balance sheets in the "Securitized debt, at fair value" line item. The Company recorded the proceeds from the issuance of the secured financing in the "Cash Flows from Financing Activities" section of the consolidated statement of cash flows at the time of securitization. The Company did not have an interest in the August 2019 VIE as of December 31, 2018 . The holders of the securitized debt have no recourse to the general credit of the Company.

Disclosure of Excess MSRs [Abstract] | |
Excess MSRs | Excess MSRs The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 for its Excess MSR portfolio. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in current period earnings in the "Unrealized gain/(loss) on derivative and other instruments, net" line item. The gross unrealized gains/(losses) columns below represent inception to date unrealized gains/(losses). The following table presents detail on the Company’s Excess MSR portfolio on December 31, 2019 ($ in thousands).

Actual maturities of Excess MSRs may be shorter than stated contractual maturities. Maturities are affected by prepayments of principal. As described in Note 2, the Company evaluates securities for OTTI on at least a quarterly basis. The determination of whether an Excess MSR is other-than-temporarily impaired involves judgments and assumptions based on subjective and objective factors. When the fair value of an Excess MSR is less than its amortized cost at the balance sheet date, the Excess MSR is considered impaired, and the impairment is designated as either "temporary" or "other-than-temporary." For the year ended December 31, 2019 , the Company recognized an OTTI charge of $2.6 million on its Excess MSRs, which is included in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. Of the $2.6 million of OTTI recorded for the year ended December 31, 2019 , $0.9 million related to Excess MSRs where OTTI was not recognized in a prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2018 , the Company recognized an OTTI charge of $0.4 million on its Excess MSRs, which is included in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. None of the OTTI recorded for the year ended December 31, 2018 was related to Excess MSRs where OTTI was recognized in a prior year. No OTTI was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2017 . |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair value measurements | Fair value measurements As described in Note 2, the fair value of financial instruments that are recorded at fair value will be determined by the Manager, subject to oversight of the Company’s Board of Directors, and in accordance with ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures." When possible, the Company determines fair value using independent data sources. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Values for the Company’s securities, Excess MSRs, securitized debt of the December 2014 VIE, derivatives and U.S. Treasury securities are based upon prices obtained from third party pricing services, which are indicative of market activity. The fair value of the Company’s obligation to return securities borrowed under reverse repurchase agreements is based upon the value of the underlying borrowed U.S. Treasury securities as of the reporting date. The evaluation methodology of the Company’s third-party pricing services incorporates commonly used market pricing methods, including a spread measurement to various indices such as the one-year constant maturity treasury and LIBOR, which are observable inputs. The evaluation also considers the underlying characteristics of each investment, which are also observable inputs, including: coupon; maturity date; loan age; reset date; collateral type; periodic and life cap; geography; and prepayment speeds. The Company collects and considers current market intelligence on all major markets, including benchmark security evaluations and bid-lists from various sources, when available. As part of the Company’s risk management process, the Company reviews and analyzes all prices obtained by comparing prices to recently completed transactions involving the same or similar investments on or near the reporting date. If, in the opinion of the Manager, one or more prices reported to the Company are not reliable or unavailable, the Manager reviews the fair value based on characteristics of the investment it receives from the issuer and available market information. In valuing its derivatives, the Company considers the creditworthiness of both the Company and its counterparties, along with collateral provisions contained in each derivative agreement, from the perspective of both the Company and its counterparties. All of the Company’s derivatives are either subject to bilateral collateral arrangements or clearing in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd Frank Act"). For swaps cleared under the Dodd Frank Act, a Central Counterparty Clearing House ("CCCH") now stands between the Company and the over-the-counter derivative counterparties. In order to access clearing, the Company has entered into clearing agreements with Futures Commissions Merchants ("FCMs"). Beginning in the first quarter of 2017, as a result of a CCCH amendment to its rule book governing central clearing activities, the daily exchange of variation margin associated with a CCCH centrally cleared derivative instrument is legally characterized as the daily settlement of the derivative instrument itself, as opposed to a pledge of collateral. Accordingly, the Company accounts for the daily receipt or payment of variation margin associated with its centrally cleared interest rate swaps and futures as a direct reduction to the carrying value of the interest rate swap and future derivative asset or liability, respectively. The carrying amount of centrally cleared interest rate swaps and futures reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets is equal to the unsettled fair value of such instruments. See Note 8 for more information. The fair value of the Company's mortgage loans and securitized debt relating to the August 2019 VIE considers data such as loan origination information, additional updated borrower information, loan servicing data, as available, forward interest rates, general economic conditions, home price index forecasts and valuations of the underlying properties. The variables considered most significant to the determination of the fair value of the Company's mortgage loans include market-implied discount rates, projections of default rates, delinquency rates, prepayment rates and loss severity (considering mortgage insurance). Projections of default and prepayment rates are impacted by other variables such as reperformance rates, and timeline to liquidation. The Company uses loan level data and macro-economic inputs to generate loss adjusted cash flows and other information in determining the fair value of its mortgage loans. Because of the inherent uncertainty of such valuation, the fair values established for mortgage loans held by the Company may differ from the fair values that would have been established if a ready market existed for these mortgage loans. The Manager may also engage specialized third party valuation service providers to assess and corroborate the valuation of a selection of investments in the Company’s loan portfolio on a periodic basis. These specialized third party valuation service providers conduct independent valuation analyses based on a review of source documents, available market data, and comparable investments. The analyses provided by valuation service providers are reviewed and considered by the Manager. TBA instruments are similar in form to the Company’s Agency RMBS portfolio, and the Company therefore estimates fair value based on similar methods. Cash equivalents include investments in money market funds that invest primarily in short term U.S. Treasury and Agency securities. These cash equivalent instruments are valued at their market quoted prices, which generally approximate cost plus accrued interest. In December 2015, the Company, alongside private funds under the management of Angelo Gordon, through AG Arc, formed Arc Home. The Company invests in Arc Home through AG Arc. In June 2016, Arc Home closed on the acquisition of a Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, VA and Ginnie Mae seller/servicer of residential mortgages. Through this subsidiary, Arc Home originates conforming, Government, Jumbo, Non-QM and other non-conforming residential mortgage loans, retains the mortgage servicing rights associated with the loans it originates, and purchases additional mortgage servicing rights from third-party sellers.

The Company did not have any transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . Refer to the tables below for details on transfers between the Level 3 and Level 2 categories under ASC 820. Transfers into the Level 3 category of the fair value hierarchy occur due to instruments exhibiting indications of reduced levels of market transparency. Transfers out of the Level 3 category of the fair value hierarchy occur due to instruments exhibiting indications of increased levels of market transparency. Indications of increases or decreases in levels of market transparency include a change in observable transactions or executable quotes involving these instruments or similar instruments. Changes in these indications could impact price transparency, and thereby cause a change in level designations in future periods.

As further described above, fair values for the Company’s securities portfolio are based upon prices obtained from third-party pricing services. Broker quotations may also be used. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s securities are prepayment rates, probability of default, and loss severity in the event of default. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates. Also, as described above, valuation of the Company’s loan portfolio is determined by the Manager using third-party pricing services where available, specialized third-party valuation service providers, or model-based pricing. The evaluation considers the underlying characteristics of each loan, which are observable inputs, including: coupon, maturity date, loan age, reset date, collateral type, periodic and life cap, geography, and prepayment speeds. These valuations also require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, re-performance rates, leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions of other lenders and other factors deemed necessary by management. Changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of our investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the valuations currently estimated. If applicable, analyses provided by valuation service providers are reviewed and considered by the Manager. |

Financing Arrangements | Financing arrangements The following table presents a summary of the Company's financing arrangements as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands). December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Repurchase agreements $ 3,121,966 $ 2,595,873 Revolving facilities 111,502 124,615 Financing arrangements, net $ 3,233,468 $ 2,720,488 Repurchase agreements A vast majority of the Company's financing arrangements are effectuated through repurchase agreements. The Company pledges certain real estate securities and loans as collateral under repurchase agreements with financial institutions, the terms and conditions of which are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Repurchase agreements involve the sale and a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the transferred assets or similar assets at a future date. The amount borrowed generally is equal to the fair value of the assets pledged less an agreed-upon discount, referred to as a "haircut." The Company calculates haircuts disclosed in the tables below by dividing allocated capital on each borrowing by the current fair value of each investment. Repurchase agreements entered into by the Company are accounted for as financings and require the repurchase of the transferred assets at the end of each agreement’s term, typically 30 to 90 days. The carrying amount of the Company’s repurchase agreements approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities or floating rate coupons. If the Company maintains the beneficial interest in the specific assets pledged during the term of the borrowing, it receives the related principal and interest payments. If the Company does not maintain the beneficial interest in the specific assets pledged during the term of the borrowing, it will have the related principal and interest payments remitted to it by the lender. Interest rates on these borrowings are fixed based on prevailing rates corresponding to the terms of the borrowings, and interest is paid at the termination of the borrowing at which time the Company may enter into a new borrowing arrangement at prevailing market rates with the same counterparty or repay that counterparty and negotiate financing with a different counterparty. If the fair value of pledged assets declines due to changes in market conditions or the publishing of monthly security paydown factors, lenders typically would require the Company to post additional securities as collateral, pay down borrowings or establish cash margin accounts with the counterparties in order to re-establish the agreed-upon collateral requirements, referred to as margin calls. The fair value of financial instruments pledged as collateral on the Company’s repurchase agreements disclosed in the tables below represent the Company’s fair value of such instruments which may differ from the fair value assigned to the collateral by its counterparties. The Company maintains a level of liquidity in the form of cash and unpledged Agency RMBS and Agency Interest-Only securities in order to meet these obligations. Under the terms of the Company’s master repurchase agreements, the counterparties may, in certain cases, sell or re-hypothecate the pledged collateral. If the fair value of pledged assets increases due to changes in market conditions, counterparties may be required to return collateral to us in the form of securities or cash or post additional collateral to us.

On September 17, 2014, AG MIT CREL, LLC ("AG MIT CREL"), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement and Securities Contract (the "CREL Repurchase Agreement" or "Revolving facility A") with Wells Fargo to finance certain commercial loans. Each transaction under the CREL Repurchase Agreement will have its own specific terms, such as identification of the assets subject to the transaction, sale price, repurchase price and rate. The CREL Repurchase Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants, including financial covenants, events of default and indemnities that are customary for agreements of this type. This facility was paid off in July 2019. In June 2018, AG MIT WFB1 2014 LLC ("AG MIT WFB1"), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into Amendments Seven and Eight of the Master Repurchase Agreement and Securities Contract (as amended, the "WFB1 Repurchase Agreement" or "Revolving facility B") with Wells Fargo to finance the ownership and acquisition of certain pools of residential mortgage loans. In July 2019, AG MIT WFB1 entered into the Third Amended and Restated Fee and Pricing Letter, which provides for a funding period ending June 26, 2020 and a facility termination date of June 28, 2021. The WFB1 Repurchase Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants, including financial covenants, events of default and indemnities that are customary for agreements of this type. In the event the debt outstanding under the WFB1 Repurchase Agreement falls below $7.0 million , a cash trap trigger event will occur in which all income payments received by Wells Fargo will be applied against the outstanding balance until the WFB1 Repurchase Agreement is paid off. In August 2018, AG MIT CREL II, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement with JP Morgan (the "JPM Repurchase Agreement" or "Revolving facility C") to finance certain commercial loans. The JPM Repurchase Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants, including financial covenants, events of default and indemnities that are customary for agreements of this type. Financing arrangements The Company seeks to obtain financing from several different counterparties in order to reduce the financing risk related to any single counterparty. The Company has entered into master repurchase agreements ("MRAs") or loan agreements with such financing counterparties. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Company had 44 financing counterparties, under which it had outstanding debt with 30 and 31 counterparties, respectively. The following table presents information at December 31, 2019 with respect to each counterparty that provides the Company with financing for which the Company had greater than 5% of its stockholders’ equity at risk, excluding stockholders’ equity at risk under financing through affiliated entities ($ in thousands).

They may also include Eurodollar Futures, U.S. Treasury Futures, British Pound Futures, Euro Futures (collectively, "Futures"). Derivatives have not been designated as hedging instruments. The Company uses these derivatives and may also utilize other instruments to manage interest rate risk, including long and short positions in U.S. Treasury securities. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage foreign currency risk and to protect the value or to fix the amount of certain investments or cash flows in terms of U.S. dollars. The Company may exchange cash "variation margin" with the counterparties to its derivative instruments on a daily basis based upon changes in the fair value of such derivative instruments as measured by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME") and the London Clearing House ("LCH"), the central clearinghouses ("CCPs") through which those derivatives are cleared. In addition, the CCPs require market participants to deposit and maintain an "initial margin" amount which is determined by the CCPs and is generally intended to be set at a level sufficient to protect the CCPs from the maximum estimated single-day price movement in that market participant’s contracts. Receivables recognized for the right to reclaim cash initial margin posted in respect of derivative instruments are included in the "Restricted cash" line item in the consolidated balance sheets. Prior to the first quarter of 2017, the daily exchange of variation margin associated with centrally cleared derivative instruments was considered a pledge of collateral. For these prior periods, receivables recognized for the right to reclaim cash variation margin posted in respect of derivative instruments are included in the "Restricted cash" line item in the consolidated balance sheets. Beginning in the first quarter of 2017, as a result of an amendment to the CCPs' rule book which governs their central clearing activities, the daily exchange of variation margin associated with a CCP instrument is legally characterized as the daily settlement of the derivative instrument itself, as opposed to a pledge of collateral. Accordingly, the Company accounts for the daily receipt or payment of variation margin associated with its centrally cleared derivative instruments as a direct reduction to the carrying value of the derivative asset or liability, respectively. The carrying amount of centrally cleared derivative instruments reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets approximates the unsettled fair value of such instruments. As variation margin is exchanged on a one-day lag, the unsettled fair value of such instruments represents the change in fair value that occurred on the last day of the reporting period.

(3) Included in Other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet is $1.6 million less accrued interest of $(1.9) million for a total of $(0.3) million . The Company must post cash or securities as collateral on its derivative instruments when their fair value declines. This typically occurs when prevailing market rates change adversely, with the severity of the change also dependent on the term of the derivatives involved. The posting of collateral is generally bilateral, meaning that if the fair value of the Company’s derivatives increases, its counterparty will post collateral to it. As of December 31, 2019 , the Company pledged real estate securities with a fair value of $3.0 million and cash of $32.1 million as collateral against certain derivatives. Of the $32.1 million of cash pledged as collateral against certain derivatives, $8.5 million represents amounts related to variation margin. The Company’s counterparties posted a de minimis amount of cash as collateral for certain derivatives. As of December 31, 2018 , the Company pledged real estate securities with a fair value of $7.2 million and cash of $29.3 million as collateral against certain derivatives. Of the $29.3 million of cash pledged as collateral against certain derivatives, $7.1 million represents amounts related to variation margin. The Company’s counterparties posted cash of $1.5 million as collateral for certain derivatives. Interest rate swaps To help mitigate exposure to increases in interest rates, the Company uses currently-paying and may use forward-starting, one- or three-month LIBOR-indexed, pay-fixed, receive-variable, interest rate swap agreements. This arrangement hedges our exposure to higher interest rates because the variable-rate payments received on the swap agreements largely offset additional interest accruing on the related borrowings due to the higher interest rate, leaving the fixed-rate payments to be paid on the swap agreements as the Company’s effective borrowing rate, subject to certain adjustments including changes in spreads between variable rates on the swap agreements and actual borrowing rates. As of December 31, 2019 , the Company’s interest rate swap positions consist of pay-fixed interest rate swaps.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings per share | Earnings per share Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing net income/(loss) available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted- average shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding for that period that participate in the Company’s common dividends. Diluted EPS takes into account the effect of dilutive instruments, such as stock options, warrants, unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted stock units but uses the average share price for the period in determining the number of incremental shares that are to be added to the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. As of December 31, 2019 , December 31, 2018 , and December 31, 2017 , the Company’s outstanding warrants and unvested restricted stock units were as follows: December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Outstanding warrants (1) — — 1,007,500 Unvested restricted stock units previously granted to the Manager 20,009 40,007 60,000 (1) The warrants expired July 6, 2018. Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase half a share of the Company’s common stock at a fixed price upon exercise of the warrant. Prior to their expiration in 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017 , the Company excluded the effects of such warrants from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Restricted stock units granted to the manager do not entitle the participant the rights of a shareholder of the Company’s common stock, such as dividend and voting rights, until shares are issued in settlement of the vested units. The restricted stock units are not considered to be participating shares. The dilutive effects of the restricted stock units are only included in diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. The following table presents a reconciliation of the earnings and shares used in calculating basic and diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2019 , 2018 and 2017 (in thousands, except per share data): Year Ended December 31, 2019 Year Ended December 31, 2018 Year Ended December 31, 2017 Numerator: Net Income/(Loss) from Continuing Operations $ 97,338 $ 3,504 $ 118,558 Dividends on preferred stock 16,122 13,469 13,469 Net income/(loss) from continuing operations available to common stockholders 81,216 (9,965 ) 105,089 Net Income/(Loss) from Discontinued Operations (4,416 ) (1,936 ) — Net Income/(Loss) available to common stockholders $ 76,800 $ (11,901 ) $ 105,089 Denominator: Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 32,192 28,392 27,866 Dilutive effect of restricted stock units 11 — 17 Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 32,203 28,392 27,883 Earnings/(Loss) Per Share - Basic Continuing Operations $ 2.52 $ (0.35 ) $ 3.77 Discontinued Operations (0.13 ) (0.07 ) — Basic Earnings/(Loss) Per Share of Common Stock: $ 2.39 $ (0.42 ) $ 3.77 Earnings/(Loss) Per Share - Diluted Continuing Operations $ 2.52 $ (0.35 ) $ 3.77 Discontinued Operations (0.13 ) (0.07 ) — Diluted Earnings/(Loss) Per Share of Common Stock: $ 2.39 $ (0.42 ) $ 3.77 The following tables detail the Company's common stock dividends during the years ended December 31, 2019 , 2018 and 2017 : 2019 Declaration Date Record Date Payment Date Dividend Per Share 3/15/2019 3/29/2019 4/30/2019 $ 0.50 6/14/2019 6/28/2019 7/31/2019 0.50 9/6/2019 9/30/2019 10/31/2019 0.45 12/13/2019 12/31/2019 1/31/2020 0.45 Total $ 1.90 2018 Declaration Date Record Date Payment Date Dividend Per Share 3/15/2018 3/29/2018 4/30/2018 $ 0.475 6/18/2018 6/29/2018 7/31/2018 0.50 9/14/2018 9/28/2018 10/31/2018 0.50 12/14/2018 12/31/2018 1/31/2019 0.50 Total $ 1.975 2017 Declaration Date Record Date Payment Date Dividend Per Share (1) 3/10/2017 3/21/2017 4/28/2017 $ 0.475 6/8/2017 6/19/2017 7/31/2017 0.475 9/11/2017 9/29/2017 10/31/2017 0.575 12/15/2017 12/29/2017 1/31/2018 0.475 Total $ 2.000 (1) The combined dividend of $0.575 includes a dividend of $0.475 per common share and a special cash dividend of $0.10 per common share.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income taxes | Income taxes As a REIT, the Company is not subject to federal income tax to the extent that it makes qualifying distributions to its stockholders, and provided it satisfies on a continuing basis, through actual investment and operating results, the REIT requirements including certain asset, income, distribution and stock ownership tests. Most states follow U.S. federal income tax treatment of REITs. For the years ended December 31, 2019 , and December 31, 2018 , the Company elected to satisfy the REIT distribution requirements in part with a dividend paid in 2020 and 2019, respectively. In conjunction with these payments after year-end, the Company accrued an excise tax of $0.8 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, which are included in the "Other liabilities" line item on the consolidated balance sheets. Excise tax represents a four percent tax on the required amount of the Company’s ordinary income and net capital gains not distributed during the year. The expense is calculated in accordance with applicable tax regulations. The Company files tax returns in several U.S. jurisdictions. There are no ongoing U.S. federal, state or local tax examinations related to the Company. The Company elected to treat certain domestic subsidiaries as TRSs and may elect to treat other subsidiaries as TRSs. In general, a TRS may hold assets and engage in activities that the Company cannot hold or engage in directly, and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business. The Company elected to treat one of its foreign subsidiaries as a TRS and, accordingly, taxable income generated by this TRS may not be subject to local income taxation, but generally will be included in the Company’s income on a current basis as Subpart F income, whether or not distributed. Cash distributions declared by the Company that do not exceed its current or accumulated earnings and profits will be considered ordinary income to stockholders for income tax purposes unless all or a portion of a distribution is designated by the Company as a capital gain dividend. Distributions in excess of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will be characterized as return of capital or capital gains. For the years ended December 31, 2019 , December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 all income distributed was in the form of common and preferred dividends and was characterized as ordinary income. Based on its analysis of any potential uncertain income tax positions, the Company concluded it did not have any uncertain tax positions that meet the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740 as of December 31, 2019 , 2018 or 2017 . The Company’s federal income tax returns for the last three tax years are open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. In the event that the Company incurs income tax related interest and penalties, its policy is to classify them as a component of provision for income taxes. |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related party transactions | Related party transactions The Company has entered into a management agreement with the Manager, which provided for an initial term and will be deemed renewed automatically each year for an additional one-year period, subject to certain termination rights. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , no event of termination had occurred. The Company is externally managed and advised by the Manager. Pursuant to the terms of the management agreement, which became effective July 6, 2011 (upon the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering (the "IPO")), the Manager provides the Company with its management team, including its officers, along with appropriate support personnel. Each of the Company’s officers is an employee of Angelo Gordon. The Company does not have any employees. The Manager, pursuant to a delegation agreement dated as of June 29, 2011, has delegated to Angelo Gordon the overall responsibility of its day-to-day duties and obligations arising under the Company’s management agreement. Management fee The Manager is entitled to a management fee equal to 1.50% per annum, calculated and paid quarterly, of the Company’s Stockholders’ Equity. For purposes of calculating the management fee, "Stockholders’ Equity" means the sum of the net proceeds from any issuances of equity securities (including preferred securities) since inception (allocated on a pro rata daily basis for such issuances during the fiscal quarter of any such issuance, and excluding any future equity issuance to the Manager), plus the Company’s retained earnings at the end of such quarter (without taking into account any non-cash equity compensation expense or other non-cash items described below incurred in current or prior periods), less any amount that the Company pays for repurchases of its common stock, excluding any unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items that have impacted stockholders’ equity as reported in the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income, and excluding one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP, and certain other non-cash charges after discussions between the Manager and the Company’s independent directors and after approval by a majority of the Company’s independent directors. Stockholders’ Equity, for purposes of calculating the management fee, could be greater or less than the amount of stockholders’ equity shown on the Company’s financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2019 , December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the Company incurred management fees of $9.8 million , $9.5 million and $9.8 million , respectively.

As of December 31, 2019 , 17,921 shares of common stock were available to be awarded under the equity incentive plans. Awards under the equity incentive plans are forfeitable until they become vested. An award will become vested only if the vesting conditions set forth in the applicable award agreement (as determined by the compensation committee) are satisfied.

The compensation committee also has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of an award upon the occurrence of certain events in its discretion.

The 20,009 restricted stock units that have not vested as of December 31, 2019 were granted to the Manager on July 1, 2017 and represent the right to receive an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued when the units vest on July 1, 2020. The units do not entitle the participant the rights of a holder of the Company’s common stock, such as dividend and voting rights, until shares are issued in settlement of the vested units. The vesting of such units is subject to the continuation of the management agreement. If the management agreement terminates, all unvested units then held by the Manager or the Manager’s transferee shall be immediately cancelled and forfeited without consideration. The following table presents information with respect to the Company’s restricted stock and restricted stock units for the years ended December 31, 2019 , December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 : Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding at beginning of year 108,624 $ 19.52 109,430 $ 19.64 57,981 $ 20.66 Granted (1) 25,030 15.97 19,187 18.31 71,452 18.50 Canceled/forfeited — — — — — — Unrestricted (19,998 ) 18.53 (19,993 ) 19.01 (20,003 ) 18.53 Outstanding at end of year 113,656 $ 18.91 108,624 $ 19.52 109,430 $ 19.64 Unvested at end of year 20,009 $ 18.53 40,007 $ 18.53 60,000 $ 18.53 (1) The grant date fair value of restricted stock awards was established as the average of the high and low prices of the Company's common stock at the grant date. The grant date fair value of restricted stock units is based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock at the grant date. During the years ended December 31, 2019 , December 31, 2018 , and December 31, 2017 , 45,028 , 39,180 , and 31,455 shares of total restricted stock and restricted stock units vested, respectively. On December 31, 2019 , the Company had unrecognized compensation expense of $42.8 thousand related to restricted stock units. The total fair value of restricted shares and units vested for the years ended December 31, 2019 , December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was approximately $0.8 million , $0.7 million , and $0.6 million , respectively, based on the closing price of the stock on the vesting date. The unrecognized compensation expense on December 31, 2019 is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 6 months. The Company capitalized equity based compensation expense of $0.7 million , $0.6 million , and $0.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2019 , December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively, associated with the amortization of restricted stock and restricted stock units. Director compensation Beginning in 2018, the Company began paying a $160,000 annual base director’s fee to each independent director. Base director’s fees are paid 50% in cash and 50% in restricted common stock. The number of shares of restricted common stock to be issued each quarter to each independent director is determined based on the average of the high and low prices of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day of each fiscal quarter. To the extent that any fractional shares would otherwise be issuable and payable to each independent director, a cash payment is made to each independent director in lieu of any fractional shares. All directors’ fees are paid pro rata (and restricted stock grants determined) on a quarterly basis in arrears, and shares issued are fully vested and non-forfeitable. These shares may not be sold or transferred by such director during the time of his service as an independent member of the Company’s board. Beginning in 2019, the Company increased the annual fee paid to the lead independent director from $15,000 to $25,000 . Investments in debt and equity of affiliates The Company invests in credit sensitive residential and commercial real estate assets through affiliated entities which hold an ownership interest in the assets.

See Note 2 for the gross fair value of the Company's share of these investments as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . During Q3 2018, the Company transferred certain of its CMBS from certain of its non-wholly owned subsidiaries to a fully consolidated entity. The Company executed the transfer in order to obtain financing on these real estate securities. As a result, there was a reclassification of these assets from the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" line item to the "CMBS" line item on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company has also shown this reclassification as a non-cash transfer on its consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company’s investment in AG Arc is reflected on the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" line item on its consolidated balance sheets. See Note 2 for the fair value of AG Arc as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . In June 2016, Arc Home closed on the acquisition of a Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Federal Housing Administration ("FHA"), Veteran’s Administration ("VA") and Ginnie Mae seller/servicer of mortgages with licenses to conduct business in 47 states, including Washington D.C. Through this subsidiary, Arc Home originates conforming, Government, Jumbo, Non-QM and other non-conforming residential mortgage loans, retains the mortgage servicing rights associated with the loans it originates, and purchases additional mortgage servicing rights from third-party sellers. Arc Home is led by an external management team. Arc Home may sell loans to the Company, to third parties, or to affiliates of the Manager. Arc Home may also enter into agreements with third parties or affiliates of the Manager to sell rights to receive the excess servicing spread related to MSRs that it either purchases from third parties or originates. The Company, directly or through its subsidiaries, has entered into agreements with Arc Home to purchase rights to receive the excess servicing spread related to certain of Arc Home's MSRs.

As of December 31, 2019 , the Company’s share of MATH’s total capital commitment to MATT is $46.8 million , of which the Company had funded $44.6 million as of December 31, 2019 . As of December 31, 2019 , the Company’s remaining commitment was $2.2 million (net of any return of capital to the Company). On May 15, 2019 and November 14, 2019, the Company, alongside private funds under the management of Angelo Gordon and a third party, entered into the LOTS I and LOTS II Agreements, respectively, which requires the Company to fund various commitments to LOTS in connection with the origination of Land Related Financing.

Beginning in November 2015, the Company also engaged Red Creek Asset Management LLC ("Asset Manager"), a related party of the Manager and direct subsidiary of Angelo Gordon, as the asset manager for certain of its Re/Non-Performing Loans. Beginning in September 2019, the Company engaged the Asset Manager as the asset manager for its non-QM loans. The Company pays the Asset Manager separate arm’s-length asset management fees as assessed and confirmed periodically by a third party valuation firm for its Re/Non-Performing Loans and non-QM loans. In the third quarter of 2019, the third party assessment of asset management fees resulted in the Company updating the fee amount for its Re/Non-Performing Loans. The Company also utilized the third party valuation firm to establish the fee level for non-QM loans in the third quarter of 2019. For the years ended December 31, 2019 , December 31, 2018 , and December 31, 2017 , the fees paid by the Company to the Asset Manager, totaled $0.9 million , $0.4 million , and $0.2 million , respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Cash and cash equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents Cash is comprised of cash on deposit with financial institutions. The Company classifies highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents includes cash invested in money market funds. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Company held $53.2 million and $0.6 million , respectively, of cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure. Cash pledged to the Company as collateral is unrestricted in use and, accordingly, is included as a component of "Cash and cash equivalents" on the consolidated balance sheets. Any cash held by the Company as collateral is included in the "Other liabilities" line item on the consolidated balance sheets and in cash flows from financing activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. Due to broker, which is included in the "Other liabilities" line item on the consolidated balance sheets, does not include variation margin received on centrally cleared derivatives. See Note 8 for more detail. Any cash due to the Company in the form of principal payments is included in the "Other assets" line item on the consolidated balance sheets and in cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. |
Restricted cash | Restricted cash Restricted cash includes cash pledged as collateral for clearing and executing trades, derivatives, and financing arrangements. Prior to the disposition of the Company's SFR portfolio, restricted cash also included cash deposited into accounts related to rent deposits and collections, security deposits, property taxes, insurance premiums, interest expenses, property management fees and capital expenditures. Restricted cash is not available to the Company for general corporate purposes. Restricted cash may be returned to the Company when the related collateral requirements are exceeded or at the maturity of the derivative or financing arrangement. Restricted cash is carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted cash does not include variation margin pledged on centrally cleared derivatives. |
Offering costs | Offering costs The Company has incurred offering costs in connection with common stock offerings, registration statements and preferred stock offerings. Where applicable, the offering costs were paid out of the proceeds of the respective offerings. Offering costs in connection with common stock offerings and costs in connection with registration statements have been accounted for as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Offering costs in connection with preferred stock offerings have been accounted for as a reduction of their respective gross proceeds. |
Use of estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. |
Earnings/(Loss) per share | Earnings/(Loss) per share In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 260, "Earnings per Share," the Company calculates basic income/(loss) per share by dividing net income/(loss) available to common stockholders for the period by weighted-average shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding for that period. Diluted income per share takes into account the effect of dilutive instruments, such as stock options, warrants, unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted stock units but uses the average share price for the period in determining the number of incremental shares that are to be added to the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. In periods in which the Company records a loss, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation, as their effect on loss per share is anti-dilutive. |
Valuation of financial instruments | Valuation of financial instruments The fair value of the financial instruments that the Company records at fair value will be determined by the Manager, subject to oversight of the Company’s Board of Directors, and in accordance with ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures." When possible, the Company determines fair value using independent data sources. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below: • Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. • Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. Transfers between levels are assumed to occur at the beginning of the reporting period. |
Accounting for real estate securities | Accounting for real estate securities Investments in real estate securities are recorded in accordance with ASC 320-10, "Investments – Debt and Equity Securities," ASC 325-40, "Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets," or ASC 310-30, "Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality." The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825, "Financial Instruments" for its real estate securities portfolio. Real estate securities are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and the periodic change in fair value is recorded in current period earnings on the consolidated statement of operations as a component of "Unrealized gain/(loss) on real estate securities and loans, net." Real estate securities acquired through securitizations are shown in the line item "Purchase of real estate securities" on the consolidated statement of cash flows. Purchases and sales of real estate securities are recorded on the trade date. These investments meet the requirements to be classified as available for sale under ASC 320-10-25 which requires the securities to be carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. Electing the fair value option allows the Company to record changes in fair value in the consolidated statement of operations, which, in management’s view, more appropriately reflects the results of operations for a particular reporting period as all securities activities will be recorded in a similar manner. The Company recognizes certain upfront costs and fees relating to securities for which the fair value option has been elected in current period earnings as incurred and does not defer those costs, which is in accordance with ASC 825-10-25. When the Company purchases securities with evidence of credit deterioration since origination, it will analyze the securities to determine if the guidance found in ASC 310-30 is applicable. The Company accounts for its securities under ASC 310 and ASC 325 and evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") on at least a quarterly basis. The determination of whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired involves judgments and assumptions based on subjective and objective factors. When the fair value of a real estate security is less than its amortized cost at the balance sheet date, the security is considered impaired, and the impairment is designated as either "temporary" or "other-than-temporary." When a real estate security is impaired, an OTTI is considered to have occurred if (i) the Company intends to sell the security (i.e., a decision has been made as of the reporting date) or (ii) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If the Company intends to sell the security or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the real estate security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the entire amount of the impairment loss, if any, is recognized in earnings as a realized loss and the cost basis of the security is adjusted to its fair value. Additionally for securities accounted for under ASC 325-40 an OTTI is deemed to have occurred when there is an adverse change in the expected cash flows to be received and the fair value of the security is less than its carrying amount. In determining whether an adverse change in cash flows occurred, the present value of the remaining cash flows, as estimated at the initial transaction date (or the last date previously revised), is compared to the present value of the expected cash flows at the current reporting date. The estimated cash flows reflect those a "market participant" would use and include observations of current information and events, and assumptions related to fluctuations in interest rates, prepayment speeds and the timing and amount of potential credit losses. Cash flows are discounted at a rate equal to the current yield used to accrete interest income. Any resulting OTTI adjustments are reflected in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. The determination as to whether an OTTI exists is subjective, given that such determination is based on information available at the time of assessment as well as the Company’s estimate of the future performance and cash flow projections for the individual security. As a result, the timing and amount of an OTTI constitutes an accounting estimate that may change materially over time. Increases in interest income may be recognized on a security on which the Company previously recorded an OTTI charge if the performance of such security subsequently improves. Any remaining unrealized losses on securities at December 31, 2019 do not represent other than temporary impairment as the Company has the ability and intent to hold the securities to maturity or for a period of time sufficient for a forecasted market price recovery up to or above the amortized cost of the investment, and the Company is not required to sell the security for regulatory or other reasons. In addition, any unrealized losses on the Company’s Agency RMBS accounted for under ASC 320 are not due to credit losses given their explicit guarantee of principal and interest by the GSEs, but rather are due to changes in interest rates and prepayment expectations. See Note 3 for a summary of OTTI charges recorded. Sales of securities are driven by the Manager’s portfolio management process. The Manager seeks to mitigate risks including those associated with prepayments, defaults, severities, amongst others and will opportunistically rotate the portfolio into securities with more favorable attributes. Strategies may also be employed to manage net capital gains, which need to be distributed for tax purposes. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities, loans and derivatives are included in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. The cost of positions sold is calculated using a first in, first out ("FIFO") basis. Realized gains and losses are recorded in earnings at the time of disposition. |
Accounting for residential and commercial mortgage loans | Accounting for residential and commercial mortgage loans Investments in mortgage loans are recorded in accordance with ASC 310-10, "Receivables." At purchase, the Company may aggregate its mortgage loans into pools based on common risk characteristics. Once a pool of loans is assembled, its composition is maintained. The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 for its mortgage loan portfolio. Loans are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and any periodic change in fair value will be recorded in current period earnings on the consolidated statement of operations as a component of "Unrealized gain/(loss) on real estate securities and loans, net." The Company recognizes certain upfront costs and fees relating to loans for which the fair value option has been elected in current period earnings as incurred and does not defer those costs, which is in accordance with ASC 825-10-25. Purchases and sales of mortgage loans are recorded on the settlement date, concurrent with the completion of due diligence and the removal of any contingencies. Prior to the settlement date, the Company will include commitments to purchase loans within the Commitments and Contingencies footnote to the financial statements. The Company amortizes or accretes any premium or discount over the life of the loans utilizing the effective interest method. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the collectability of both interest and principal on its loans to determine whether they are impaired. A loan or pool of loans is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. Income recognition is suspended for loans at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90-days past due or when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired loan or pool of loans is in doubt, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired loan is not in doubt, contractual interest is recorded as interest income when received, under the cash basis method until an accrual is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. A loan is written off when it is no longer realizable and/or legally discharged. When the Company purchases mortgage loans with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it determines that it is probable it will not collect all contractual cash flows on those loans, it will apply the guidance found in ASC 310-30. Mortgage loans that are delinquent 60 or more days are considered non-performing. The Company updates its estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected on at least a quarterly basis for loans accounted for under ASC 310-30. In estimating these cash flows, there are a number of assumptions that will be subject to uncertainties and contingencies including both the rate and timing of principal and interest receipts, and assumptions of prepayments, repurchases, defaults and liquidations. If based on the most current information and events it is probable that there is a significant increase in cash flows previously expected to be collected or if actual cash flows are significantly greater than cash flows previously expected, the Company will recognize these changes prospectively through an adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. The Company will adjust the amount of yield by reclassification from the nonaccretable difference. The adjustment is accounted for as a change in estimate in conformity with ASC 250, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" with the amount of periodic accretion adjusted over the remaining life of the loan. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected from previously projected cash flows, which includes all cash flows originally expected to be collected by the investor plus any additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimate after acquisition, may be recognized as impairment. Increases in interest income may be recognized on a loan on which the Company previously recorded an OTTI charge if the performance of such loan subsequently improves. |
Investments in debt and equity of affiliates | Investments in debt and equity of affiliates The Company’s unconsolidated ownership interests in affiliates are accounted for using the equity method. A majority of the Company’s investments held through affiliated entities are comprised of real estate securities, Excess MSRs, loans, and certain derivatives. These types of investments may also be held directly by the Company. These entities have chosen to make a fair value election on their financial instruments pursuant to ASC 825; as such, the Company will treat these investments consistently with this election. On December 9, 2015, the Company, alongside private funds under the management of Angelo Gordon, through AG Arc LLC, one of the Company’s indirect subsidiaries ("AG Arc"), formed Arc Home LLC ("Arc Home"). The Company has chosen to make a fair value election with respect to its investment in AG Arc pursuant to ASC 825. On August 29, 2017, the Company, alongside private funds under the management of Angelo Gordon, formed Mortgage Acquisition Holding I LLC ("MATH") to conduct a residential mortgage investment strategy. MATH in turn sponsored the formation of an entity called Mortgage Acquisition Trust I LLC ("MATT") to purchase predominantly "Non-QM" loans, which are residential mortgage loans that are not deemed "qualified mortgage," or "QM," loans under the rules of the CFPB. Non-QM loans are not eligible for delivery to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae. MATT has made an election to be treated as a real estate investment trust beginning with the 2018 tax year. On May 15, 2019 and November 14, 2019, the Company, alongside private funds under the management of Angelo Gordon, formed LOT SP I LLC and LOT SP II LLC, respectively, (collectively, "LOTS"). LOTS were formed to originate first mortgage loans to third party land developers and home builders for purposes of the acquisition and horizontal development of land ("Land Related Financing"). During Q3 2018, the Company transferred certain of its CMBS from certain of its non-wholly owned subsidiaries to a consolidated entity. The Company executed this transfer in order to obtain financing on these real estate securities. As a result, there was a reclassification of these assets from the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" line item to the "CMBS" line item on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company has also shown this reclassification as a non-cash transfer from the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" line item to the "CMBS" line item on its consolidated statements of cash flows. The below table reconciles the fair value of investments to the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" line item on the Company's consolidated balance sheet (in thousands). December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Assets Liabilities Equity Assets Liabilities Equity Real Estate Securities, Excess MSRs and Loans, at fair value (1)(2) $ 373,126 $ (257,068 ) $ 116,058 $ 213,419 $ (138,893 ) $ 74,526 AG Arc, at fair value 28,546 — 28,546 20,360 — 20,360 Cash and Other assets/(liabilities) 12,953 (1,246 ) 11,707 7,423 (17,417 ) (9,994 ) Investments in debt and equity of affiliates $ 414,625 $ (258,314 ) $ 156,311 $ 241,202 $ (156,310 ) $ 84,892 (1) Certain loans held in securitized form are presented net of non-recourse securitized debt. (2) Within Real Estate Securities, Excess MSRs and Loans is $254.3 million and $113.3 million of fair value of Non-QM loans held in MATT at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. Additionally, there is $17.0 million of fair value of Land Related Financing held in LOTS at December 31, 2019 . There was no Land Related Financing at December 31, 2018 . The Company’s investments in debt and equity of affiliates are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets in the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" line item and periodic changes in fair value are recorded in current period earnings on the consolidated statement of operations as a component of "Equity in earnings/(loss) from affiliates." Capital contributions, distributions and profits and losses of such entities are allocated in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreements. |
Accounting for excess mortgage servicing rights | Accounting for excess mortgage servicing rights The Company has acquired the right to receive the excess servicing spread related to Excess MSRs. The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 for Excess MSRs. Excess MSRs are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and any periodic change in fair value is recorded in current period earnings on the consolidated statement of operations as a component of "Unrealized gain/(loss) on derivative and other instruments, net." The Company amortizes or accretes any premium or discount over the life of the related Excess MSRs utilizing the effective interest method. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the collectability of interest of its Excess MSRs to determine whether they are impaired. An Excess MSR is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. The Company updates its estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected on at least a quarterly basis for Excess MSRs. In estimating these cash flows, there are a number of assumptions that will be subject to uncertainties and contingencies including both the rate and timing of interest receipts, and assumptions of prepayments, repurchases, defaults and liquidations. If there is a significant increase in expected cash flows over what was previously expected to be collected or if actual cash flows are significantly greater than cash flows previously expected, the Company will recognize these changes prospectively through an adjustment of the Excess MSR’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected from previously projected cash flows, which includes all cash flows originally expected to be collected by the investor plus any additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimate after acquisition, may be recognized as impairment. Increases in interest income may be recognized on an Excess MSR on which the Company previously recorded an OTTI charge if the performance of such Excess MSR subsequently improves. |
Accounting for single-family rental properties | Accounting for single-family rental properties The previously mentioned sale of the Company's SFR portfolio has met the criteria for discontinued operations. Accordingly, for all current and prior periods presented, the related assets and liabilities are presented as assets and liabilities held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets and the related operating results are presented as income/(loss) from discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations. Purchases of single-family rental properties were treated as asset acquisitions under ASU 2017-01, "Clarifying the Definition of a Business" and were recorded at their purchase price, which were allocated between land, building and improvements, and in-place lease intangibles (when a tenant is in place at the acquisition date) based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. Fair value was determined in accordance with ASC 820 and was primarily based on unobservable data inputs. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price, the Company utilized its own market knowledge and published market data and generally engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist management in the determination of fair value for purposes of allocating price of properties acquired as part of portfolio level transactions. For purposes of this allocation, the purchase price was inclusive of acquisition costs, which included legal costs, as well as other closing costs. The Company incurred costs to acquire, stabilize and prepare its single-family rental properties to be rented. These costs included renovation and other costs associated with these activities. The Company capitalized these costs as a component of the Company's investment in each single-family rental property, using specific identification and relative allocation methodologies. The capitalization period associated with the Company's stabilization activities began at such time that activities commenced and concluded at the time that a single-family rental property was available to be leased. Once a property was ready for its intended use, expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs were expensed to operations as incurred. The Company capitalized expenditures that improved or extended the life of a home and for certain furniture and fixtures additions. The Company recorded single-family rental properties at purchase price plus any capitalized expenses less accumulated depreciation and amortization and any impairment to the "Single-family rental properties, net" line item on its consolidated balance sheets. Costs capitalized in connection with property acquisitions and improvements were depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis. Buildings were depreciated over 30 years and improvements were depreciated over a range of 5 years to 30 years. In-place lease intangibles were recorded based on the costs to execute similar leases as well as an estimate of lost rent revenue at in-place rental rates during the estimated time required to lease the property. The in-place lease intangibles were amortized over the remaining life of the leases in place at purchase and were recorded in "Single-family rental properties, net" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company assessed impairment on its single-family rental properties at least on a quarterly basis, or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicated that carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. When such trigger events occurred, the Company determined whether there had been impairment by comparing the asset’s carrying value with its estimated fair value. If impairment existed, the asset was written down to its estimated fair value. This analysis was performed at the property level using estimated cash flows, which were estimated based on a number of assumptions that were subject to economic and market uncertainties, including, among others, demand for rental properties, competition for customers, changes in market rental rates, costs to operate each property, expected ownership periods and value of the property. If the carrying amount of a property exceeded the sum of its undiscounted future operating and disposition cash flows, an impairment loss was recorded for excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair value. Minimum contractual rents from leases were recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases in rental income. Therefore, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may have been higher or lower than the amount of rental income recognized during the period. Straight-line rental income commenced when the customer took control of the leased premises. |
Investment consolidation and transfers of financial assets | Investment consolidation and transfers of financial assets For each investment made, the Company evaluates the underlying entity that issued the securities acquired or to which the Company makes a loan to determine the appropriate accounting. A similar analysis will be performed for each entity with which the Company enters into an agreement for management, servicing or related services. In performing the analysis, the Company refers to guidance in ASC 810-10, "Consolidation." In situations where the Company is the transferor of financial assets, the Company refers to the guidance in ASC 860-10 "Transfers and Servicing." In variable interest entities ("VIEs"), an entity is subject to consolidation under ASC 810-10 if the equity investors either do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, are unable to direct the entity’s activities or are not exposed to the entity’s losses or entitled to its residual returns. VIEs within the scope of ASC 810-10 are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is determined to be the party that has both the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This determination can sometimes involve complex and subjective analyses. Further, ASC 810-10 also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. In accordance with ASC 810-10, all transferees, including variable interest entities, must be evaluated for consolidation. If the Company determines that consolidation is not required, it will then assess whether the transfer of the underlying assets would qualify as a sale, should be accounted for as secured financings under GAAP, or should be accounted for as an equity method investment, depending on the circumstances. See Note 3 and Note 4 for more detail. The Company entered into a resecuritization transaction in 2014 which resulted in the Company consolidating the VIE that was created to facilitate the transaction and to which the underlying assets in connection with the resecuritization were transferred. In determining the accounting treatment to be applied to this resecuritization transaction, the Company evaluated whether the entity used to facilitate this transaction was a VIE and, if so, whether it should be consolidated. Based on its evaluation, the Company concluded that the VIE should be consolidated and, as a result, transferred assets of the VIE were determined to be secured borrowings. The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 for its secured borrowings. See Note 3 below for more detail. The Company transferred certain of its CMBS in Q3 2018 from certain of its non-wholly owned subsidiaries into a newly formed wholly owned entity so the Company could obtain financing on these real estate securities. The Company evaluated whether this newly formed entity was a VIE and, whether it should be consolidated. Based on its evaluation, the Company concluded that the VIE should be consolidated. See Note 3 below as well as the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" section above for more detail. The Company entered into a securitization transaction of certain of its re-performing residential mortgage loans in Q3 2019, which resulted in the Company consolidating the VIE that was created to facilitate the transaction and to which the underlying assets in connection with the securitization were transferred. In determining the accounting treatment to be applied to this securitization transaction, the Company evaluated whether the entity used to facilitate this transaction was a VIE and, if so, whether it should be consolidated. Based on its evaluation, the Company concluded that the VIE should be consolidated and, as a result, transferred assets of the VIE were determined to be secured borrowings. The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 for its secured borrowings. See Note 4 below for more detail. The Company may periodically enter into transactions in which it transfers assets to a third party. Upon a transfer of financial assets, the Company will sometimes retain or acquire senior or subordinated interests in the related assets. Pursuant to ASC 860-10, a determination must be made as to whether a transferor has surrendered control over transferred financial assets. That determination must consider the transferor’s continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset, including all arrangements or agreements made contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of, the transfer, even if they were not entered into at the time of the transfer. The financial components approach under ASC 860-10 limits the circumstances in which a financial asset, or portion of a financial asset, should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire original financial asset to an entity that is not consolidated with the transferor in the financial statements being presented and/or when the transferor has continuing involvement with the transferred financial asset. It defines the term “participating interest” to establish specific conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale. Under ASC 860-10, after a transfer of financial assets that meets the criteria for treatment as a sale—legal isolation, ability of transferee to pledge or exchange the transferred assets without constraint and transferred control—an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it acquired or retained and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets it has sold and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. The transferor would then determine the gain or loss on sale of financial assets by allocating the carrying value of the underlying mortgage between securities or loans sold and the interests retained based on their fair values. The gain or loss on sale is the difference between the cash proceeds from the sale and the amount allocated to the securities or loans sold. When a transfer of financial assets does not qualify for sale accounting, ASC 860-10 requires the transfer to be accounted for as a secured borrowing with a pledge of collateral. From time to time, the Company may securitize mortgage loans it holds if such financing is available. These transactions will be recorded in accordance with ASC 860-10 and will be accounted for as either a "sale" and the loans will be removed from the consolidated balance sheets or as a "financing" and will be classified as "residential mortgage loans" on the consolidated balance sheets, depending upon the structure of the securitization transaction. ASC 860-10 is a standard that may require the Company to exercise significant judgment in determining whether a transaction should be recorded as a "sale" or a "financing." |
Interest income recognition | Interest income recognition Interest income on the Company’s real estate securities portfolio is accrued based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal balance of such securities. The Company has elected to record interest in accordance with ASC 835-30-35-2, "Imputation of Interest," using the effective interest method for all securities accounted for under the fair value option (ASC 825). As such, premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted into interest income over the lives of the securities in accordance with ASC 310-20, "Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs," ASC 320-10 or ASC 325-40, as applicable. Total interest income is recorded in the "Interest income" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. On at least a quarterly basis for securities accounted for under ASC 320-10 and ASC 310-20 (generally Agency RMBS, exclusive of interest-only securities), prepayments of the underlying collateral must be estimated, which directly affect the speed at which the Company amortizes premiums on its securities. If actual and anticipated cash flows differ from previous estimates, the Company records an adjustment in the current period to the amortization of premiums for the impact of the cumulative change in the effective yield through the reporting date. Similarly, the Company also reassesses the cash flows on at least a quarterly basis for securities accounted for under ASC 325-40 (generally Non-Agency RMBS, ABS, CMBS, interest-only securities and Excess MSRs). In estimating these cash flows, there are a number of assumptions made that are uncertain and subject to judgments and assumptions based on subjective and objective factors and contingencies. These include the rate and timing of principal and interest receipts (including assumptions of prepayments, repurchases, defaults and liquidations), the pass-through or coupon rate and interest rate fluctuations. In addition, interest payment shortfalls due to delinquencies on the underlying mortgage loans have to be estimated. Differences between previously estimated cash flows and current actual and anticipated cash flows are recognized prospectively through an adjustment of the yield over the remaining life of the security based on the current amortized cost of the investment as adjusted for credit impairment, if any. Interest income on the Company’s loan portfolio is accrued based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal balance of such loans. The Company has elected to record interest in accordance with ASC 835-30-35-2 using the effective interest method for all loans accounted for under the fair value option (ASC 825). Any amortization is reflected as an adjustment to interest income in the consolidated statement of operations. For security and loan investments purchased with evidence of deterioration of credit quality for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the Company will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable, the Company will apply the provisions of ASC 310-30. For purposes of income recognition, the Company may aggregate loans that have common risk characteristics into pools and uses a composite interest rate and expectation of cash flows expected to be collected for the pool. ASC 310-30 addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor’s initial investment in loans or debt securities (loans) acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. ASC 310-30 limits the yield that may be accreted (accretable yield) to the excess of the investor’s estimate of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows (cash flows expected at acquisition to be collected) over the investor’s initial investment in the loan. ASC 310-30 requires that the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected (nonaccretable difference) not be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual or valuation allowance. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected generally should be recognized prospectively through an adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected should be recognized as impairment. The Company’s accrual of interest, discount accretion and premium amortization for U.S. federal and other tax purposes differs from the financial accounting treatment of these items as described above. |
Financing arrangements | Financing arrangements The Company finances the acquisition of certain assets within its portfolio through the use of financing arrangements. Financing arrangements include repurchase agreements and financing facilities. The Company's financing facilities include revolving facilities. Repurchase agreements and financing facilities are treated as collateralized financing transactions and carried at their contractual amounts, including accrued interest, as specified in the respective agreements. The carrying amount of the Company’s repurchase agreements and revolving facilities approximates fair value. The Company pledges certain securities, loans or properties as collateral under financing arrangements with financial institutions, the terms and conditions of which are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. The amounts available to be borrowed under repurchase agreements and revolving facilities are dependent upon the fair value of the securities or loans pledged as collateral, which can fluctuate with changes in interest rates, type of security and liquidity conditions within the banking, mortgage finance and real estate industries. In response to declines in fair value of assets pledged under repurchase agreements and revolving facilities, lenders may require the Company to post additional collateral or pay down borrowings to re-establish agreed upon collateral requirements, referred to as margin calls. |
Accounting for derivative financial instruments | Accounting for derivative financial instruments The Company enters into derivative contracts as a means of mitigating interest rate risk or foreign currency risk rather than to enhance returns. The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815-10, "Derivatives and Hedging." ASC 815-10 requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and to measure those instruments at fair value. Additionally, if or when hedge accounting is elected, the fair value adjustments will affect either other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity until the hedged item is recognized in earnings or net income depending on whether the derivative instrument is designated and qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes and, if so, the nature of the hedging activity. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Company did not have any interest rate derivatives designated as hedges. All derivatives have been recorded at fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10, with corresponding changes in value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company records derivative asset and liability positions on a gross basis with respect to its counterparties. The Company records the daily receipt or payment of variation margin associated with the Company’s centrally cleared derivative instruments on a net basis. See Note 8 for a discussion of this accounting treatment. During the period in which the Company unwinds a derivative, it records a realized gain/(loss) in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item in the consolidated statement of operations. |
To-be-announced securities | To-be-announced securities A to-be-announced security ("TBA") is a forward contract for the purchase or sale of Agency RMBS at a predetermined price, face amount, issuer, coupon and stated maturity on an agreed-upon future date. The specific Agency RMBS delivered into or received from the contract upon the settlement date, published each month by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, are not known at the time of the transaction. The Company may also choose, prior to settlement, to move the settlement of these securities out to a later date by entering into an offsetting short or long position (referred to as a pair off), net settling the paired off positions for cash, simultaneously purchasing or selling a similar TBA contract for a later settlement date. This transaction is commonly referred to as a dollar roll. The Agency RMBS purchased or sold for a forward settlement date are typically priced at a discount to Agency RMBS for settlement in the current month. This difference, or discount, is referred to as the price drop. The price drop is the economic equivalent of net interest carry income on the underlying Agency RMBS over the roll period (interest income less implied financing cost) and is commonly referred to as dollar roll income/(loss). Consequently, forward purchases of Agency RMBS and dollar roll transactions represent a form of off-balance sheet financing. Dollar roll income is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the line item "Unrealized gain/(loss) on derivative and other instruments, net." The Company presents the purchase or sale of TBAs net of the corresponding payable or receivable, respectively, until the settlement date of the transaction. Contracts for the purchase or sale of Agency RMBS are accounted for as derivatives if they do not qualify for the "regular way" security trade scope exception found in ASC 815-10. To be eligible for this scope exception, the contract must meet the following conditions: (1)there is no other way to purchase or sell that security, (2) delivery of that security and settlement will occur within the shortest period possible for that type of security, and (3) it is probable at inception and throughout the term of the individual contract that the contract will not settle net and will result in physical delivery of a security when it is issued. Unrealized gains and losses associated with TBA contracts not meeting the regular-way exception and not designated as hedging instruments are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the line item "Unrealized gain/(loss) on derivative and other instruments, net." |
U.S. Treasury securities | U.S. Treasury securities The Company may purchase long or sell short U.S. Treasury securities to help mitigate the potential impact of changes in interest rates. The Company may finance its purchase of U.S. Treasury securities with overnight repurchase agreements. The Company may borrow securities to cover short sales of U.S. Treasury securities through overnight reverse repurchase agreements, which are accounted for as borrowing transactions, and the Company recognizes an obligation to return the borrowed securities at fair value on its consolidated balance sheets based on the value of the underlying borrowed securities as of the reporting date. The Company establishes haircuts to ensure the fair value of the underlying assets remain sufficient to protect the Company in the event of a default by a counterparty. Interest income and expense associated with purchases and short sales of U.S. Treasury securities are recognized in "Interest income" and "Interest expense," respectively, on the consolidated statement of operations. Realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with purchases and short sales of U.S. Treasury securities are recognized in "Net realized gain/(loss)" and "Unrealized gain/(loss) on derivative and other instruments, net," respectively, on the consolidated statement of operations. |
Manager compensation | Manager compensation The management agreement provides for payment to the Manager of a management fee. The management fee is accrued and expensed during the period for which it is earned. |
Income taxes | Income taxes The Company conducts its operations to qualify and be taxed as a REIT. Accordingly, the Company will generally not be subject to federal or state corporate income tax to the extent that the Company makes qualifying distributions to its stockholders, and provided that it satisfies on a continuing basis, through actual investment and operating results, the REIT requirements including certain asset, income, distribution and stock ownership tests. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT, and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, it will be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and may be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which the Company fails to qualify as a REIT. The dividends paid deduction of a REIT for qualifying dividends to its stockholders is computed using the Company’s taxable income/(loss) as opposed to net income/(loss) reported on the Company’s GAAP financial statements. Taxable income/(loss), generally, will differ from net income/(loss) reported on the financial statements because the determination of taxable income/(loss) is based on tax principles and not financial accounting principles. The Company elected to treat certain domestic subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs") and may elect to treat other subsidiaries as TRSs. In general, a TRS may hold assets and engage in activities that the Company cannot hold or engage in directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business. A domestic TRS may declare dividends to the Company which will be included in the Company’s taxable income/(loss) and necessitate a distribution to stockholders. Conversely, if the Company retains earnings at the domestic TRS level, no distribution is required and the Company can increase book equity of the consolidated entity. A domestic TRS is subject to U.S. federal, state and local corporate income taxes. The Company elected to treat one of its foreign subsidiaries as a TRS and, accordingly, taxable income generated by this foreign TRS may not be subject to local income taxation, but generally will be included in the Company’s taxable income on a current basis as Subpart F income, whether or not distributed. The Company’s financial results are generally not expected to reflect provisions for current or deferred income taxes, except for any activities conducted through one or more TRSs that are subject to corporate income taxation. The Company believes that it will operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify for taxation as a REIT. As a result of the Company’s expected REIT qualification, it does not generally expect to pay federal or state corporate income tax. Many of the REIT requirements, however, are highly technical and complex. If the Company were to fail to meet the REIT requirements, it would be subject to federal income taxes and applicable state and local taxes. As a REIT, if the Company fails to distribute in any calendar year (subject to specific timing rules for certain dividends paid in January) at least the sum of (i) 85% of its ordinary income for such year, (ii) 95% of its capital gain net income for such year, and (iii) any undistributed taxable income from the prior year, the Company would be subject to a non-deductible 4% excise tax on the excess of such required distribution over the sum of (i) the amounts actually distributed and (ii) the amounts of income retained and on which the Company has paid corporate income tax. The Company evaluates uncertain income tax positions, if any, in accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes." The Company classifies interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of provision for income taxes. |
Foreign currency remeasurement | Foreign currency remeasurement The Company’s assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into U.S. dollars using foreign currency exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. Income and expenses are remeasured using the average exchange rates for each reporting period. The effects of remeasuring the monetary assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign investments held by entities with a U.S. dollar functional currency are included in the “Foreign currency gain/(loss), net” line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The effects of remeasuring the assets, income and expenses of the Company's foreign investments held by entities with a U.S. dollar functional currency in which the fair value option is elected are either included in the applicable unrealized line item per the Company’s other significant accounting policies, or within the "Interest income" or "Interest expense" line items, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Deal related performance fees | Deal related performance fees The Company may incur deal related performance fees, payable to Arc Home and third party operators, on certain of its CMBS, Excess MSRs, and Land Related Financing. The deal related performance fees are based on these investments meeting certain performance hurdles. The fees are accrued and expensed during the period for which they are incurred and are included in the "Other operating expenses" and "Equity in earnings/(loss) from affiliates" line items on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. |
Stock-based compensation | Stock-based compensation The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, "Compensation—Stock Compensation" with regard to its equity incentive plans. ASC 718 covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights and employee stock purchase plans. ASC 718 requires that compensation cost relating to stock-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Compensation cost related to restricted common shares and restricted stock units issued to the Company’s directors and the Manager are measured at its estimated fair value at the grant date, and is amortized and expensed over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. Restricted stock units granted to the Manager do not entitle the participant the rights of a shareholder of the Company’s common stock, such as dividend and voting rights, until shares are issued in settlement of the vested units. The restricted stock units are not considered to be participating shares. Restricted stock units are measured at fair value reduced by the present value of the dividends expected to be paid on the underlying shares during the requisite service period, discounted at an assumed risk free rate. The Company has elected to use the straight-line method to amortize compensation expense for restricted stock units. |
Recent accounting pronouncements | Recent accounting pronouncements In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" ("ASU 2016-13"). This new guidance significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including loans, that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the existing “incurred loss” model with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. It requires entities to record credit allowances for available-for-sale debt securities rather than reduce the carrying amount, as it currently is under the other-than temporary impairment model. The new guidance also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. The Company is required to adopt the new guidance as of January 1, 2020. The new guidance specifically excludes available-for-sale securities and loans measured at fair value through net income. Accordingly, the impact of the new guidance on accounting for the Company's debt securities and loans is expected to be limited to recognition of effective yield which is currently impacted by other than temporary impairment recorded under current standards. As the new guidance is expected to eliminate the accounting for other than temporary impairment, the Company expects this guidance to have an impact on its unrealized and realized gain/(loss) amounts. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-7, "Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2018-7"). The standard largely aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. Equity-classified share-based payment awards issued to nonemployees will be measured on the grant date, instead of being remeasured through the performance completion date (generally the vesting date), as required under the current guidance. The standard is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year when adopted. The standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted ASU 2018-7 in the first quarter of 2019 and applied the guidance on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The adjustment was immaterial. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement" ("ASU 2018-13"). ASU 2018-13 changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurement" by adding, eliminating, and modifying certain disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and requires application of the prospective method of transition. The Company has concluded this guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
